Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular

chromosome are found in four different species: First sequence: STUVWX Second sequence: UVXTSW Third sequence: UVWSTX Fourth sequence: SWVUTX Assuming that the arrangement in the first sequence is the ancestor/reference arrangement, in what evolutionary order did the four species arise, such that the fewest number of inversions occur between each species (place the first sequence as the earliest species in your ordering)2341

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1, 4, 3, 2.

Explanation:

It is given that the first sequence represents the earliest or ancestor species therefore, the first sequence would be - STUVWX

After the inversion, the highlighted sequence of the first sequence STUVWX gives rise to the second sequence as:

STUVWX

SWVUTX

Thus the second sequence after Ist inversion would be SWVUTX

2nd inversion, Third sequence:

SWVUTX

UVWSTX

Thus the third sequence after 2nd inversion is UVWSTX

3rd inversion, fourth sequence:

UVWSTX

UVXTSW

Thus, the fourth sequence after 3rd inversion is UVXTSW

Why does the author compare self-deception to a drug in paragraph 6?
yulyashka [42]

Answer: B  to show that drugs and self-deception can cause someone to ignore reality.

<h3>Ignore reality</h3><h3 />

There are many ways to escape reality, drugs being one of them. Every addiction, that is, every excess, betrays the presence of something behind it and keeps it alive. What sustains the addiction? The fear of facing reality, its own and collective. You run away from reality because you feel unable to sustain it. Without upholding the vision of truth, it is not possible to transform what is not good. Many stop at this first stage:

  • they can't stand to know
  • see and face the harsh and raw reality
  • and escape to an inner fantasy world nourished by a drug, a habit or a belief...

For anything that allows them to remain protected from sight of the real perceived as horrendous. The flight from the facts is an indication of emotional weakness, as you cannot bear the emotion of seeing the tragedy, but it is also synonymous with mental weakness, as you cannot think and process it, the tragedy. Brain and heart flee from reality and, thus, the individual remains in a state of minority. It is for the adult, that is, for the mature person, to know how to deal with What It Is. Therefore, behind every addiction there is an infantile condition structured around beliefs, rationalizations and "beliefs".

with this, we can say that the author wanted to compare how drugs and self-delusion can make someone ignore reality.

Why are fungal insecticides an attractive alternative to chemical pesticides for growing food crops?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Fungal insecticides are an attractive alternative to chemical pesticides for growing food crops because fungal insecticides can eliminate both harmful insects and plant pathogen while chemical pesticides can only kill insects.

Explanation:

As it gets harder to get approval for novel synthetics and existing synthetic pesticides are pulled from shelves, biopesticides become more attractive.And then there's the rise of weeds and microbes resistant to traditional pesticides. Many commonly used chemical pesticides are facing pressure today due to overuse, improper use, and long-term use.Some biopesticides repel pests, while others disrupt mating or cause a specific disease to strike invaders that would nibble on delicate fruits and vegetables.That's especially true when compared with synthetic pesticides, which often contain toxic chemicals such as arsenic, chlorine, ammonia and formaldehyde. Some synthetic pesticides have been shown to have harmful effects on the environment and human health. One family of pesticides, called neonicotinoids, is being blamed for the decline in bee populations over the last decade. Trichoderma, a versatile mold, is also commonly used. Some release enzymes that dissolve potential pathogens; others form barriers around plant roots and make it impossible for harmful bacteria and pathogens to pass through.

Another fungus — Metarhizium, or the green muscardine fungus — is frequently used in the field, shielding crops from beetle grubs, wireworm, corn root worms and countless other insects. One variant is now being used to develop biopesticides — including a line by MycoPesticide — that can cause a mushroom to grow from a pest's dead body to distribute spores that warn other insects.
